- If you haven't yet, go check out Hello There's animated recreation of the Battle of the Heroes battle between Anakin vs Obi-Wan (from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith) in the Clone Wars style animation:
• CLONE WARS: BATTLE OF ...
I tried to line up things as best I can. I tried to get all the exact recreations lined up, especially to highlight the parts that were completely new moments created by Hello There. And there were some moments that were just a couple frames off so it took a little bit of maneuvering to get the side by side comparison to line up well. It's not perfect and took me longer than I expected, but I had fun putting it together.
Full scene from the unfinished Clone Wars episode that’s at the beginning of the video:

After 7 seasons of watching Anakin be a hero and a great person, the animated version hits even harder
A great person with very dark moments.
@@Tony-rv5sp yeah, that’s what made it so poignant in the first place because we got to see him at his best with Padme, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka and we get to see him at his worst with them
Agreed, the prequels unfortunately failed to really express the gravity of this turning point in both of their lives. For Anakin, it drove him to become the monster as he allowed the dark side to fully consume him. For Ben, it completely shatters his worldview, pushing him to be ashamed of himself and the Jedi as he's forced into hiding. Both equally broken by the consequences of a corrupt system.
@@mstrfstr310Indeed. The prequel trilogy should have episode 1 titled the phantom menace but have mostly the plot of attacl of the clones. Episode 2 should be about a significant stpry of arc of clone wars sharing itd height with Ahsoka. Finally, Episode 3 is dtill Revenge of the Sith but with a live action of psrt between Ahsoka and Maul in Mangalore and finslly the poignantly Burying the Dead scene.

Proof that nobody could've done a better job than Hayden and Ewan. Their dialogue and performances is forever unmatched
I totally agree. It gave me a whole new and separate emotional feeling seeing the clone wars style and matt lanters voice along with it. The parts when Anakin is burning, Matt Lanter's lines almost felt wrong/uncanny there for me. Some lines for me from the movies specifically I don't think I'll ever separate from Hayden's voice.
@@Col.Roy_Mustang I’m sure they’re capable of doing a better job too since these were just the goofy Lego voice lines but still I don’t think they could ever deliver it as well as Hayden and Ewan. Literal perfection
When they were in the roles I did not see Hayden and Ewan but only saw Obi-wan and Anakin,
You know it’s a amazing actor when you see past them and only see the characters that they are playing, such as Heath Ledger’s Joker. I love it when you feel like your looking at a real character and not just an actor playing the character which lately Hollywood has been unsuccessful with.
No, it’s just proof that your nostalgia is controlling you.
@@TheSCPStudio *preference
The movies choreography was a lot quicker and flashyer which made it a great spectacle but the fan animation has slower but more weighty and powerful hits that make it super powerful. Hard to say which i prefer as both are great
I actually don’t really like the movie’s choreography that much. Most of the time they’re just aiming at each other’s lightsabers. The prequel choreography is too focused on being flashy. I much prefer the clone wars animation one.
@@Scriabinfan593bro stop glazing the movie version is literally better, lightsabers don't have weights 😂
@@alyax-but hands do. And true, lightsaber's, well, "blade" has no weight. But they can still be blocked by another lightsaber, thus it's almost like a sword. Moreover one can apply physical force on the hilt. Thus there is some "weight" because of the strength of the hit itself.
The new animated strikes are more “aim” for the kill
The fan version is definitely more accurate to how the Clone Wars show would’ve handled it 👌
I love how in the Clone Wars animation they perfected several details from the movie and even added a couple of deleted scenes plus cutting repetitive sequences. I simply admire the work and love put into it, it’s absolutely beautiful ❤
What were the repetitive scenes that were cut?
@@kristopherhayes1957look at the saber fight, its clearly longer
Hayden's "I hate you" sounded so much more...sincere....like you can hear the feeling of betrayal and hatred he felt toward his former master and who he tought was his friend. In the animated version, the voice actor did say "I hate you" angrily, but it wasn't the same. Matt Lanter is an excellent voice actor but there wasn't this burst of raw emotion, the grudge and anger in his voice.
i think its from Lego Star Wars
@@Luke_Sandy_High_Ground Oh maybe! I didn't play the new one, tho I guess that SWTCW voice actors did the job for the game as well
They should've asked to use the movie audio for both lines, for the Clone Wars version. No matter how great the voice actors have been, the characters' last emotional, hurt filled words to each other, will always be best delivered by the Hayden and Ewen scenes.
@@ianandjohnandmaniandreni9323 I absolutely agree. They made us feel feel the absolute pain their characters were going trough at this specific moment
That "I hate you" isn't even from Matt Lanter. It's someone else entirely and they should've just stuck with Hayden's dialogue.
Almost perfect, still a 10/10. If you included the part where Vader is asking about Padame it would have been, because in that scene vader realizes the consequences of his actions that he can never reverse. And he realizes he has lost not only his lover, but EVRYTHING
Voicing Vader is the reason why.
@@md9476 well they took plenty of lines from clone wars and voice line from the movie such as when obi-wan says he was the chosen one. It wasn't a clone war voice, but Ewan's voice there. They simply could have taken the line from the movie since they already did so.
@@rada660Yeah, Vader and Palps are usually voiced by their movie actors in the cartoons as of recently anyway. Probably just ran out of time and wanted to get it out for people to see, which I get
Typical Star Wars fans never appreciate what is in front of them until 20 years later.
I’m actually glad they skipped that just so the tension wouldn’t be broken by that “nnnnOOOOOOOooooooo”
I like both, but for different reasons. I’ve always loved the quick and flashy, flourishes, and strikes in the movie, but the fighting in the animation is a lot more methodical and powerful looking. Fact is, that they’re both done so well!
Movie better.
@@VITAS874 Well,
I said I like both, so it’s not a competition for me.
The fact that anakin was still trying to kill obiwan even as the world crupled around him shows just how lost he was.
4:40 This part here in the animation was also from a deleted fight scene between them in Episode III btw.
So epic to have seen Hayden ACTUALLY do this in the movie. I have no clue why it was never finished. It's such a sick move 😅
I also took it as a reference to the fan short "Scene 38" but the roles are switched as Vader pulls the same move with flammable canisters against Obi Wan. This animation is a love letter to & from the fandom.
Don’t forget that little bit of Duel Of The Fates
@@coolcomment8 I see what you mean, but it's definitely from the cut, unfinished footage. How Anakin turns around, deflects the Force pushed object, then does a reverse grip strike at Obi's head is just incredible lol
Honestly, one of my favorite moments with this remake is the way Hello There animated the part at 11:08. The way Anakin looks up and how he reacts, it’s almost like he was hoping it was Obi-Wan and the Jedi coming to save him. But of course it’s Palpatine instead and he has to accept it.
-Zach
"Obi... Wan..?"
*sees Sidious*
"Oh.. no.."
damn, that makes it just alot more sad/darker if he would have realy tought that way
Both moved me to tears, honestly... wow, they did their work over at Hello there animations
>you underestimate my power
>gets amputated
lol
5:31 that was a nod to galaxy of heroes. Nice touch
That 5:31 shot was such a missed opportunity in the original. Like how can you not spot that this is the perfect spot where John Williams intended for you to put the eruption?
Not sure if you ever saw the galaxy of adventures sort animations Disney did but that scene is actually from that, thought that was a cool touch as well!
@@boldnbrash5646 true, but I'm talking more about the exact placement at this mark in John Williams' music, where as in the original you see a relatively unexciting shot of Anakin turning around to look at something you don't see until a few shots later to be a volcanic eruption. Seems like terrible cinematography which you only notice after you see what it could have been. The original has a similar shot before the cut to Yoda, but it isn't a lightsaber lock while it clearly should have been, and it's at a point in the music that isn't building tension.
I agree with you! And it's even the shot from the official ROTS movie poster! I never understood why they didn't include it. @@mike64_t
Most likely because a similar "heroes clash with an eruption in the background" was used a few seconds earlier. But I can see why they added a second one, more reminiscent of the movie poster
They should’ve made Hayden look more remorseful, rather than evil, he was supposed to be doing it all for Padme, not for himself, if he had any self control he would’ve at least felt guilty having to attack his master that he had known for 90% of his life
well at the end of everything we all know that Anakin actually did it for himself, we can’t really blame him tho bc he was very unstable with the force, with his emotions, was manipulated and had a very difficult internal conflict, but we can’t deny that he acted very selfish once he fully turned into a sith, that’s just what they are, arrogant, selfish, egoists. They do not care about anyone but themselves, as Obi-Wan said, only a sith deals in absolutes, for example how he just decided to choke Padme assuming she betrayed him and totally forgetting or more like not caring anymore that she was the reason he was doing all this stuff for, and I think that’s what they wanted to show us, that this man wasn’t Anakin anymore but Lord Vader.
I don't think it was for padme, it was kind of just the dark side taking over.
It more like The Dark side Connection is Stronger, no wonder Anakin is like that tho, He's already A Sith Lord there
Maybe he actually did it for him self , most fans believe that he did that for Padme or his mom but it was him all the time
Padme never asked for this. In fact she told him to stop. The moment he decided to keep going he was doing it for himself. He deluded himself into believing he knew better and that the ends justified the means. But they didn't. And in the end anakins most forthright thought was to overthrow the emperor. Not save padme. Because the moment she got in his way he crushed her.
Not gonna lie I love Clone Wars more and prefer Matt Lanter as Anakin, Hayden will always be great, but it’s my preference. So seeing Anakin in this fight as the Clone Wars version just hits harder having grown up with the clone wars. Also love how Hello There extended some scenes, and reworked around some dialogue parts.
Ngl, I watched Clone Wars for the first time in 2022 but I do prefer the Matt Lantern version so much more. I was 9 when RotS came out so it has a very special place in my heart, but the Clone Wars is what made me obsessed with Star Wars in general and one of the main reasons is Lanter’s portrayal of Anakin, so I definitely agree. Now I can only hope someone can edit this into the last 2 episodes of Clone Wars. Seeing this inter-spliced with Ahsoka fighting for her life during Order 66 would hit so freaking hard. Especially with that very last 5 or so minutes of the Clone Wars which already made me cry on its own lol
-Zach
The reworked dialogue came from the latest Lego Star Wars game which is where most of the audio came from. It finally gave Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor the opportunity to do the Mustafar Fight
It's the same character anyway, but different voices
I like the extra focus on the CLones at the end. Like this was really on the Clone Wars lol and they changed the order of the shots at the end to get one last focus on Vader. Brilliant. What a great shot of him.
I like to think of what the clones might have been thinking at this moment, probably like « Isn’t that our commander? What happened?! »
I know I'm not the first person to mention this, but the animation really makes you feel every hit. It reminds you that Anakin is a true master of Djem-So, and he's trying to kill Obi-Wan here. And Obi-Wan is having to fight for every breath in this battle.
I know i agree i feel like the animation broughtbout Anakins skill alot more and his strong intent to kill Obi. The movie sorta had them mostly dead even with a intent the Obiwan is holding back. This animation had Obiwan having a hard time staying alive
If this was in the show, I would’ve cried and it would’ve hit so much harder.
This is also given me a new appreciation for Hayden. He did an amazing job as anakin, especially in these scenes! You can really feel the anger and that’s what makes it so heartbreaking!
Anakin’s story is just.. so heartbreaking, especially with how much we got to explore all the characters in the clone wars which makes me love, and hate watching it all the same
The animation can often feel weightless and floaty, but I admire the dedication to even some of the smallest movements in the original they work to replicate. Very cool.
the lighting and effects are amazing, the smoke effects from the jets and the lava splashes are impressive
HELLO THERE did a phenomenal job on this, I cant even begin to imagine how much effort they put into this.
The level of detail that went into matching the choreography is astonishing
And honestly side by side like this if you aren’t looking that closely the visuals look the exact same, it’s a weird optical illusion
It’s also strange how for their retrospective characters Matt and Hayden are
Listening to Hayden while looking at Clone wars Anakin just feels off same goes for listening to Matt while looking at live action Anakin
It’s strange
I still wanna see a complete clone wars redub of the prequels, and a live action redub of the clone wars tbh
There are slight things I feel like the actual clone wars animators would've done differently especially with the movements but overall this is amazing work
Excellent comparison video and editing! Well done and an amazing job by Hello There as well! All the intensity and depth captured beautifully. Cheers!
I like the almost elastic look of the blades in the 3D version. It really helps to sell the sort of smearing animation techniques that's present in the live action fight.
Some of the tweaks that Hello There did were absolutesly perfect that absolutely add weight and emotion to the characterisation.
I love how much love and effort they put into that series
Wow. They took already superb scene and managed to improve it in every way possible! And that Anakin's/Vader's last stare where, despite the mask, you can see all of his remorse. Simply marvelous.
Imagine the ratings if this was just an exclusive Clone Wars feature. There would be freaking Watch parties. And this would be after Ahsoka vs Maul.
This just shows much much this piece of animation is a pure labour of love. Some parts made slower to accentuate impact, and additions made that take from behind the scenes footage.
Hats off to the team who did this.
Seeing TCW Anakin and Obi-Wan dueling on Mustafar is the closure I never knew I needed for my marathon of The Clone Wars. The movie's duel will always hold a special place in my nerd pantheon and I'm just elated we get both now.
I actually feel tensed up by this clone wars one, even though I know what happens i still feel like this is new, this is so amazing!
To me, the animation has a sharper feeling in terms of their movements while dueling compared to the motions in the live action that feel more fluid and smooth. It gives off a slightly different feeling. Not worse, but different.
3 years in the making, outstanding work team "Hello There".
from an artistic composition standpoint, it's interesting to see what works better as live action, versus animation.
I think for light saber fighting its animation hands down, we as humans are too sluggish to be able to perform the type of actions they do for lightsaber fights. So if this were a John Wick scene then irl would work way better because it’s more based in reality where star wars has always been better in animation in my opinion. It portrays the scene, story, emotions, what have you, way better.
You get a different perspective of how young both Hayden and Anakin really is. Anakin Skywalker isn't a 30-something year old, mature, experienced person. He's a rash, impulsive young person. Hayden's performance really pushes that perspective, while Matt Lanterns has an edge of "The Master of Ahsoka" that hides how young and immature the character really is.
It's hard to believe that this is fanmade. I already was about to look for an episode I might have missed in Clone Wars.
A Masterful animation. Huge props to the artist.
This is amazing. I cannot get over it.
So many details, what a pleasure to watch this
I can't help but love Anakin's expression after Obi Wan expresses his love for him as someone he considered a brother. The expression that Anakin had after hearing that looked like if even for a split second Obi Wan had reached Anakin. Maybe if the moment hadn't been interrupted by Anakin catching on fire then maybe they could have talk things out and maybe reach some sort of compromise or some sort of understanding.
I think it was even said, that at this point he always thought obi-wan just saw him as a student & when he broke his own code to express how he felt it was unexpected
The light reflecting on Anakin's face when he drew his lightsaber was just *Chef's kiss*
What I love about the animation it added more emotion specifically in the don’t try it scene. In the Original obiwans smile is almost cocky. In the animation he looks devastated when he says it. Nice little addition both are great.
This is one of the coolest fights in cinema history but you would think it gets to the point where they're fighting on floating debris over a lava river you would think they would make a temporary truce until they get to land where it would be safer to fight.
Apparently if they didn’t fight on Mustafar the duel would’ve either been a draw or just not happened
There’s concepts and storyboards were they do have a temporary truce to fight off a lava monster. I can definitely understand why they’d cut that out tho
Even given the few differences, and the adding of a few things that technically would have occurred at the same time between Yoda's fight with Palpatine, love 'em both.
Also, fun fact, with your little edit when Obi-Wan used that container on Anakin, and that brief jump to Vader doing the same to Luke and the caption he learned from Obi-Wan, that actually wasn't entirely the case. Revenge Of The Sith's fight was actually meant to be longer and a bit more intense with Anakin barraging Obi-Wan with objects and the like, so actually Obi-Wan had briefly attempted to use Anakin's trick against him.
Both of them look so believable it hurts my 💔 awesome job
Love how they recreated an unfinished episode, an amazing piece of art
Great comparison
It's good to know that even in this barren Disney era that the fans can still make great stuff from back before they ruined us. This is possibly the best thing that's ever been fan made that can get added to this universe.
When I first saw the animated duel, I thought a lot of the background shots, especially towards the end, were just edited in from the original with the animation of Anakin and Obi-Wan layered over it. Now, though, seeing the subtle differences really just gives me an appreciation for how much work was put into it all.
The little touches to what Anakin will become in Vader is amazing!
I kinda wished on the first scene you put the one made by Cinematic Captures on the left side because he used the battlefront 2 models which is close to live action. But still i absolutely love that you made this side by side video 🙌
I liked that he used it because it showed what Filoni/Lucas originally did (no matter how far they got) and it gives everyone a heads up of the true source material. Most people don’t even know that there was a deleted arc (several, to be exact) so hopefully by showing the OG animatic it piques some of their interest (and perhaps drums up the cause to get those fully animated/completed!)
The film version was an all-time favorite of the saber duels, but I think the camera work of the animation was even better. Amazing work.
This is the series finale to the clone wars we needed
While it's true that the animation won't be better than the live action. I will give the animator (and all those involved) credit for doing such a fantastic job, I almost believed that this was in the show itself. Animating this would have no doubt been difficult and there were a few details that could have been improved such as the animation expression, some of them didn't quite match the expression of the voice.
casual take
Thanks for this, you really made it truth !
insane thx very much. i still think Vador in ROTS is the best costume of him in of his appareance. And then the one in the season 7 of clone wars. Here in this video u made him soooooo much good. Good job for this
Looks like us fans need to finish these animatic clone wars episodes ourselves. Considering Disney is too stupid to not put their animation team to work on them.
Huh? You know that PEOPLE make these animations, not robots right? People who need breaks, food and water. Animation isn't exactly easy work plus the clone wars ended in a completely different perspective then the actual film. It's clear you know nothing about animation, pacing and film making.
Nah they're too busy with their live action remake milking bullshit.
There is literally no reason for them to remake revenge of the sith in animated form
@@KoralTea I'm not talking about remaking ROTS. I'm referring to that unfinished clone wars episode they did at the beginning.
@@bilbobaggins9451 pal disney already closed the studios behind clone wars a few years back between 2020 and 2022
The only thing I have is that it's sad that the animated version couldn't hit their facial expressions.
They were both crying at the end of the fight. Also Padme's expressions.
You did the Star Wars Community a service. Hopefully with this inspiration a new series of amazing Cinema for Star Wars.
This is awesome!! ❤❤
The fact op managed to recreate this epic fight in the clone wars style is awesome
This fight still gives me chills till this day best fight in Star Wars history, and it's not even close.
It's amazing every time that we learn something new about Revenge of the Sith, it's time for them to release an extended version of Revenge of the Sith
I thoughth the CW version had been like rotoscoped or something, I didn't realize it was an entirely new edit. Each fits for it medium, the CW version is directed like the show would have been directed so it feels show-accurate, and I think is an improvement in general but that's subjective.
Again I cannot say enough times how much I appreciate this animation, it's what I always wanted. Ironically CW Anakin feels much more real to me because I've seen his whole story and it hits harder. My brain doesn't have to combine two diff versions, it's the Anakakin I know and love from CW. The work is flawless and just all around incredible, 10/10.
Man it still put tears in my eyes, so tragic.
I don't know why but I prefer the Revenge of the Sith dialogue
Edit: It's probably because of the memes
I can understand that, some of the dialogue is good with The Clone Wars Voices for Obi Wan and Anakin. But there are some parts that could use some.. Slight adjustment but both are without a doubt very well made but I honestly agree that I prefer the ROTS dialogue.
Agreed, Anakin's clone wars voice fitted more for just the TV show. It just doesn't sound right. Probably because I have gotten so use to Haden's. Obi-Wan's fits good enough though.
Some dialogues are from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, if you guys don't know.
@SonicFrozen_Fan2005_Official "The empire will thrive under my rule, but you won't be alive to see it!"
Sometimes I actually thought some of the background & clips where cut straight from the movie! That’s how good this is. Just finished TCW (again) and the original HGP video dropped literally the day after, such a nice way to round off the series
Looks like a legit scene from the series I enjoyed that more than I thought I would
Most iconic duel ever
I honestly miss what star wars used to be
After watching both episode 3 and the clone wars series as a child this duel hits harder in animation form as i always had a hard time seeing animated Anakin being the same character in Episode 3. in animation form it seems that the relationship we see between Anakin and Obi wan in TCW just hits harder that these were two brothers fighting each other. It might just be me though that can barely see TCW Anakin and the live action counter part as the same character. But animated the fight between them just seems sadder, almost like a disconnect between the live action and animated character is just 100% gone and im seeing the Hero that is Anakin fall
The only thing I don't like about the animation is that Obi-Wans hair-do just is too perfect throughout the whole thing. Should have gotten more mussed as the fight went on like in the movie. Dude must be using some top-tier hairspray lol. Also a bit odd that they didn't include Tarkin in the end scene on the Star Destroyer?
God damn, this is phenomenal.
this is amazing
In my life I would have never witnessed both of these creations happening in my life I'm proud
This is endlessly impressive
I never got the fact that when he's on the gurney after the surgery and the helmet was being put into place: why is he wearing the cape? You'd think that's something that gets put on later.
Damn! The animated version hits harder! You can feel the weight and see the emotions in each blow and strike!
The fan animation is sooo close to being perfect 🤩 I just wish there was a way to show the dirt and grime and sweat on the characters that made the original feel more intense and some of the voice acting just barely missed the visceral tone too. However, the animation overall is absolutely stunning and well crafted ❤
Ok this is the next step for semi adult animation
Ok why didn’t they add that one line or shot in the Final Cut
The Vader transformation was some of the best CGI Star Wars ive seen.
Epic, the fact they added deleted scenes aas crazy
Back in 2005 that part at 3:56 where after a couple strikes they spin they're sabers around made this my favorite duel of all time
This nearly looks like the original. Great work, really great work... :)
Really didn't thought Anakins jump kick and obi wans kick to actually be in the movie
It’s insane how fast Hayden and Ewan were able to move. I’d hate to get in a fight with either of them 😂
Wow this is fanmade? It’s incredible. I love the original but it was admittedly over the top even just as much as it was epic. Somehow being animation makes it more believable.
the clone wars style doesn’t quite fit this fight, but somehow it was almost on par with rots. i prefer the rots version but hello there did a magnificent job
I don't know why but Hello There's version of the scene with the shield structure going over the lavafall really makes me feel how badly Obi-Wan didn't want to do it himself, moreso than the film ever did
Just need em to do the fully realised palpatine mace windu scene
3:57 Obi-Ani Spins like why do they do this during fight isn't one of them worried about the other aiming for an exposed part of the body and injuring them. Big lesson to take away exposing yourself was the only way for Kenobi to cut down Anakin and for Anakin as Vader to cut down Obi-Wan
2:23 I am not sure if it was intentional but that backhand twirl anakin did in the animated version almost looks like Ani's cybernetic hand just went full on "Blender" mode. It's a nice touch. XD
10/10 for the comparison
By the way the Movie is better. The animated voice actors aren't as good as the OG actors and the fight scenes in the movies feel a lot more realistic unlike the animation which looks kind of stiff, but it's pretty good considering its only a fan re-creation with a small team
The greatest fight scene too ever exist in either version of Star Wars 🤧
Wow Vader's suit looks fantastic. I mean I can't tell that it's animation. For comparison Vader in Rebels and the Clone Wars finale look purely animated. Here though he looks so perfect I can't even tell at times.
Now THIS is how you make a faithful re-construction
I grew up with the prequels and the 2005 Clone Wars series. I had trouble watching the new version of the Clone Wars due to the voice of Anakin. I warmed up to Matt, but I will always love Hayden's Episode lll Anakin voice.
